We consider the connection problem for the sine-Gordon PIII equation$u_{x x}+\frac{1}{x}u_{x}+\sin u=0,$ which is the most commonly studied case among all general thirdPainlevé transcendents. The connectionformulas are derived by the method of "uniform asymptotics"proposed by Bassom, Clarkson, Law and McLeod (Arch. Rat. Mech.Anal., 1998).
Keywords: Connection formulas, sine-Gordon PIII equation, the third Painlevé transcendent (PIII), parabolic cylinder functions, Bessel functions, uniform asymptotics.
